Notes
PS: I used more tortellini than most recipes you will find online. This recipe serves 6 people, equivalent to 100g of pasta per person. Feel free to adjust the pasta to suit your needs.Variations and tips
Swap half and half for heavy cream, creme fraise, or cream cheese.
Add tomato paste, chopped tomato, or passata for a tomatoey version.
Substitute chopped kale with baby spinach and collard greens for a heartier soup.
Top your bowl of chicken tortellini soup with extra cheese such as parmesan and mozzarella.
Use leftover cooked chicken or rotisserie chicken if you have it on hand to reduce the cooking time significantly.
Substitute the chicken breast with ground chicken or a whole chicken.
